Completing the CIBMTR Confirmation of HLA Typing Form (Form 2005) Stephen Spellman Research Manager NMDP Scientific Services Maria Brown Scientific Services Specialist Data Management Conference 2007 1
Introduction to Form 2005 Basic Biology of HLA Overview of HLA nomenclature Laboratory report interpretation and data transcription 2
Introduction The CIBMTR product information is collected on three separate forms: The IDM form (Form 2004) The Confirmation of HLA Typing form (Form 2005) Infusion form (Form 2006) HLA form modeled on NMDP Form 22/117 3
Confirmation of HLA Typing Form The Confirmation of HLA Typing form is completed for: Non-NMDP allogeneic or syngeneic donors Non-NMDP recipients Non-NMDP cord blood units Complete a separate copy of this form for each donor, recipient, or cord blood unit Not required on NMDP-facilitated transplants! 4

Basic Biology of HLA 6
What is HLA? Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) First discovered through antigenic differences on white blood cells Highest expressed antigens are the class I and class II HLA molecules (0.5-1 million per cell) 7
HLA and the MHC HLA is part of a larger system know as the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) MHC is a set of closely linked genes inherited as a unit (complex) MHC was initially recognized by its major influence on transplant rejection 8
Histocompatibility Molecules MHC is divided into two main regions: HLA class I HLA class II Encoded by genes on chromosome 6 9
10
HLA Inheritance HLA genes on the same haplotype are inherited together, along with the rest of the MHC Complex HLA Class II HLA Class I C DRB1 DQB1 B C A Maternal Copy C DRB1 DQB1 B C A Paternal Copy 11
HLA Inheritance a c 25% FATHER MOTHER a b c d A B DR O F F S P R I N G a d b c b d 25% 25% 25% b/a d Recombinant Sibling (1%) 12
HLA Diversity Highest degree of polymorphism in human genome The diversity makes possible thousands of different combinations 13
HLA Typing Methods Serology Identifies HLA molecules on the cell surface using antigen specific anti-sera DNA Protein Antigen DNA Identifies HLA molecules by defining the DNA code in the cell nucleus 14

Number of Antigens/Alleles 16
Why So Diverse? Present many different types of peptides Protection from a myriad of pathogens 17
The Function of HLA Molecules Present antigen (peptides) to T-lymphocytes Facilitate immune surveillance Detection of: Viral or bacterial infected cells Mutated genes or proteins 18
Class I HLA Molecules Co-dominantly expressed on the surface of almost all nucleated cells (except RBCs and CNS) Present intracellular peptides to CD8 + T cells Individuals express up to 6 different class I molecules; two HLA-A, two HLA-B and two HLA-C 19
Class II HLA Molecules Expressed on the surface of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) B lymphocytes, dendritic cells and thymic epithelial cells Class II HLA-DRB1/3/4/5, DQA1, DQB1, DPA1, DPB1 Present extracellular (and intracellular) peptides to CD4+ T cells Consist of a and b chains 21

HLA and Transplantation Stem cell transplantation is transplanting of the immune system Graft rejection occurs when the residual host immune system attacks the transplanted immune system Graft vs. Host Disease (GvHD) occurs when the new immune system begins to attack the body of the recipient 26
HLA Basic Biology - Summary HLA genes part of MHC complex Inherited as maternal and paternal haplotypes HLA genes are the most polymorphic in the human genome Facilitate immune surveillance Present self and non-self peptides (viral, bacterial, mutated proteins, etc ) to circulating T cells 27
Overview of HLA Nomenclature 28
Examples of Serological Typing Nomenclature A10 B15 DR4 A2 B35 DR15 gene order of antigen discovery 29
Examples of DNA Typing Nomenclature A*2501 B*1503 DRB1*0402 gene A*0210 B*3502 DRB1*1504 * DNA methodology order of allele discovery allele group structure serologic 30
DNA Nomenclature: Silent Substitutions Example: DRB1*1502 DRB1*150201 DRB1*150202 DRB1*150203 DRB1*150204 The fifth & sixth digits indicate a difference in DNA structure, but the HLA antigens specified do not differ 31
DNA Nomenclature Oddities A*020101 = Silent mutation A*2409N = (Null) No antigen expressed A*2402L = Low antigen expression B*4402S = HLA protein is secreted B*3565Q = Antigen level is questionable Antigen 32

Key Fields Box The Key Fields Box contains information about the transplant recipient, donor, cord, transplant date and type of transplant. The Key Fields link the donor forms to the patient forms. 37
Key Fields Box The section on the bottom of Page 5 is used if multiple donors or cords were infused into one recipient. 38

Is it Serology or DNA? Serology Lymphotoxicity Microlymphotoxicity Serology Luminex Molecular PCR PCR-SSP SBT SSO SSOP DNA DNA 42
General Instructions DNA Typing One possible allele in each set of boxes Use as many boxes as you have alleles to report If more than six possible alleles, fill the boxes provided then write the remainder of the alleles in the available space on the page, clearly indicating the appropriate locus 43
How to Read a Lab Report / is used to separate alleles (example DRB1*0701/03 equals 0701 or 0703) - is used to indicate a range of alleles (example B*0801-0803 equals 0801/0802/0803) 44
